CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
Backhausdance was founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization by award-winning choreographer and
Chapman University dance faculty member, Jennifer Backhaus, when she saw a need for establishing a
non-profit arts organization devoted entirely to contemporary dance and creative movement in Orange
County. The company has grown steadily, received numerous awards, and is widely recognized as a
leader in performing and advocating for the art and education of contemporary dance in schools and
communities in Orange County and nationally. Our mission is to engage and educate diverse audiences of
all ages about the relevance and vitality of concert dance, both as an art form and for creative expression
and communication, connecting to literacy and academic learning, professional pursuits, and for physical
and mental health, joy, and well-being. The goal of our education programs is to introduce students and
our community to the beauty and athleticism of contemporary dance, to be inclusive and accessible, to
build cultural understanding and to celebrate our common humanity. We are committed to cultivating the
next generation of dancers and to providing scholarships for our annual Summer Dance Intensive
program, a life -changing experience for teens, emerging, and professionals. We have forged alliances with
higher education institutions, city and county agencies, Title 1 schools and districts, and dance studios,
theatres, museums and community organizations to provide the highest quality and meaningful
experiences to enrich and unify our communities.. Annually, Backhausdance typically presents
performances with original choreography and guest choreographers at theatres and venues in Orange
County and our region, also touring throughout Europe and performing in New York. Woven into the
fabric and soul of Backhausdance is being a champion for inclusivity, equity and diversity, honoring all
perspectives and ideas, and providing accessibility to dance for all ages. After over one year working
virtually and also live in wonderful, outdoor spaces, we are proceeding with hope and caution in
2021-2022, while moving ahead to celebrating our 20th anniversary season in 2022-2023.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program.
According to Tamara Fairbanks, Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Coordinator, Newport -Mesa Unified
School District, and Scott Fitzpatrick, Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Coordinator, Orange County
Department of Education (OCDE) dance and creative movement instruction are not included in K-12 core
curricula, and are offered sporadically as elective courses at the secondary level. Research studies
conducted by the National Dance Education Association and National Endowment for the Arts indicate
the positive impact that dance has on students' social -emotional and physical well-being, academic skill
development in speaking, reading, comprehension, writing, math, sciences and history as well as
improvement in memory, focus, school attendance, self-confidence, empathy, spatial reasoning, critical
and creative thinking. As a leader in advocacy for dance, Backhausdance has over 15 years of experience
working with teens through master classes, residencies, performances and our Summer Dance Intensive
for ages 13 and above, and we are dedicated to nurturing the future generation. Our proposed program,
Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography, will provide high school students with new and
accessible opportunities to engage with contemporary dance through in-depth study and performances that
are not offered at their schools. Dance Expressions is aligned with a major goal of NMUSD which is to
prepare students for 21 st century readiness, creativity, and career pathways and to prioritize social and
emotional learning with the theme of "My Face, My Name, My Story." The residency will provide
students with opportunities to use movement to open up and communicate their inner feelings and to heal
and recover from the struggles of the pandemic and unstable homes, bullying, etc. Many have ongoing
severe mental health issues with depression and anxiety as well as major academic pressures to graduate
high school, apply for college and/or search for a job as they transition into a new phase of their lives.

3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed
project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and locations.
Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their roles and
responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved
in the program. Remember: the Cityfunds only projects and programs- not operating expenses. These projects
and programs must promote community involvement and awareness of the arts in Newport Beach.
Is this a new or existing _X _ project/program? (2nd year)
Backhausdance proposes to present Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography, an in-depth dance
education partnership program to be held at two different Newport -Mesa Unified School District
(NMUSD) schools: Corona del Mar Middle/High School (CDM) and Back Bay Continuation High
School (BB), during September - October 2022. Designed for middle and high school students at both
schools, the Dance Expressions project is a unique artist -in -residence experience offering an immersion
into contemporary dance, Backhausdance movement vocabulary and technique, creative expression,
gaining confidence and finding your artistic voice, choreography and improvisation, and pathways into
professions in performing arts, while working closely with a professional company. Dance Expressions
consists of a total of fifteen (15) 75 -minute workshops (reaching 125 students) and four (4) 45 -minute
assemblies/performances by Backhausdance company dancers (reaching approximately 500 students and
community members). Dance Expressions will also guide CDM students for their Fall 2022 Showcase.
Dance Expressions Workshops: At CDM the proposed schedule for workshops in the classroom is
Tuesdays, September 6, 13, and 20, 2022 between 8:30 am - 2 pm (period 1 for Dance 2 students, period 3
for Dance 3 students and period 5 for Dance 1 students. Each class level participates in a series of 3
workshops. At BB, a series of 6 workshops will be held on Wednesdays, September 14, 21, 28, October 5,
12, and 19, 2022 for one dance class, 11:30 am - 12:45 pm.
Dance Expressions Performances/Assemblies: Held in the Sea King Theatre at CDM on Thursdays,
September 29 and October 27, 2022, 9am - 9:45 am and 10:15am - 11 am. Backhausdance company
members perform new repertory with facilitated discussion by Jennifer Backhaus, artistic director, to
break down the dance movement phrases, production, lighting, costumes and musical elements, with
question & answer session between dancers and audience. Invitations will be extended to additional CDM
and BB classes. Depending on the schedule, an internationally renowned guest choreographer working
with Backhausdancek, Ching Ching Wong, may be able to participate in one of the assemblies.
A creative team of Backhausdance and Newport -Mesa USD teachers and administrators will plan,
implement/teach, and evaluate the program. Backhausdance team members include Jennifer Backhaus,
artistic director; Amanda Kay White, associate artistic director, company dancers/ experienced teaching
artists Chihiro Sano, Kaitlin Regan, Alli Esposito and Sophia Lang, and Nancy Warzer-Brady, director of
education and community engagement. School partners are Morgan Beckman, director of dance at CDM
and Cami Marseilles, director of dance and fitness at BB. Principals at both schools endorse this program.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
Dance Expressions: Creativity and Choreography will serve approximately 500 students in grades 8 -12,
ages 14-18+ from CDM and BB. The students at both schools have little if any exposure to working with
a professional dance company, and workshops will benefit participating students as they are encouraged
to use their imaginations and to move freely in a safe environment while acquiring new artistic skills.
Students at both schools need creative outlets to balance academic and their socio -emotional stressors.

students' knowledge, assist in preparing the workshops and performances and overall assessment to
achieve the project's goal of providing over 20 hours of instruction to over 100 middle and high

with and supporting the creation of new work by dance students in the Fall 2022 Choreography
Showcase at CDM, November 17 and 18, 2022, open to the entire community. The creative team will
meet prior to the program's launch and on a regular basis to ensure the program's overall success.
